Bergeron, who will join Team Canada for the Olympics, was one of several Bruins with multiple points before joining their national teams in Sochi, Russia. David Krejci of the Czech Republic and Sweden's Loui Eriksson added a pair of assists apiece in their final game before Olympic play begins.

Canadiens 4, Hurricanes 1: David Desharnais scored twice and Ryan White and Brian Gionta also scored for Montreal, which won its third in a row. Montreal left wing Max Pacioretty sustained a lower-body injury with 7:30 left in the first period when he was checked into the goal by Carolina's Brett Bellemore and did not return, putting into question his availability as a member of the U.S. Olympic hockey team.
